Hey David, we had a signup the other day for a yearly package that had this installed we found it within 30 minutes. We sent him around 5 emails no reponse then we suspended the account. That made him come out from hiding. We actually talked with him on ICQ after we found it. But this was a strange guy with strange responses. We finally just deleted his account.

Originally posted by sexy_guy Im sorry but if you have a decent firewall that only opens what you need why would we be careful with port 1124? I dont know about you but i dont open usused ports.

Umm, neither do we, but is informing others bad thing now? Also if your using software firewalls on your server they can be taken down. Any exploit that gets through apache and can gain root can change that port. Checking your ports regularily is called being diligent with your server security.

Just because a firewall blocks it I am still not going to allow users to even try using this stuff. For us and the other clients I deal with, there is a zero tolerance for any cr@p.

If you're not checking for these types of things, firewall or not it is no wonder you seem to have an abundant more problems then most of us have encountered.
